It urged the Houthis to refrain from escalation and encouraged the "use of existing channels of dialogue" to reduce tensions. Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition backing Yemen's internationally recognised government since 2015, after the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, in 2014. The 2022 truce had halted offensive military operations inside Yemen and across its borders and led to a sharp reduction in fighting.
